Kiwi in Aotearoa who is proudly left-of, left-of centre. Comments are my own and probably dodgy. Concerned about climate change and inequality and votes accordingly. Proud supporter of Te Reo and toitu Te Tiriti.

Using religion as a justification for killing people is religious terrorism, no matter if it’s ISIS, the Israeli government, or the U.S. government. It’s religious terrorism.

If Labour will not willingly move to the left we will have to force them by voting Green!

Another great policy announcement from Greens. Tapping into desires for a vibrant left politics. The sensible centrists in the elite ranks of Labour must be feeling seriously outflanked. Keep generating this kind of energy & perhaps they can get over 20% #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

"Luxon vowed not to use Defence Force planes to travel internationally if he became prime minister - a promise he quickly reneged on. On Thursday, Hipkins said Luxon was changing his position based on what was convenient for him. "Well, well, well," he said. "Hypocrisy knows no ends.""

Voters are fleeing Labour because they refuse to offer anything worth voting for. Hipkins has totally misjudged voters and it’s probably too late to roll him. Fuck.

Hipkins has been so focused on negating the case against Labour that he never built a cohesive argument for Labour.

Politico journalist reporting Labour getting nervous already about their blank cheque for new data centres. Keep up the pressure folks. It's the people Vs the tech bros 👇🏽
Has Polanski already forced a major turn? The BBC has elevated the line I was given from a labour official about what developers "must" do to a government spokesperson. Afaik nothing ik current policy expressly mandates this.
